Attor~iey John Yoore, City Manager Cherries E. B!ack~ a~d the follow~.n~ Co~ct!~ea
ores~at: M. ~. De~'~!tt, Joh~ ~. ~abler ~ad ~eii E. ~ac}~i!lan, a ~orum betrJg prescott.
I,~ayor Br~n~o~ gave anyone ia t~e audi~nce this o~.~ortunity to s~eak.
Sgr. S. E. qurd advised ~e Council that b~a did ~ot inter~f to ~a,.~ th~ extra
water mai.ntenar~ce charge, and th~.t if th~ C~t~r_ ~, tried to col!~ct th~s foe he ~.~.r~t?~no,
to stoo them.
~.~r. ~.r.A. J~cobs than asked that the Ordinan-,e ~ro~,idJng for 6h~_ s ~ 2.00 char.ge

of the meet~g of ~.~ay ~th, oertaining t~ the ?~assage of th~ Ordinance bM th~ City
Comnci!.
The Ordinance anti that oortion of t. he minutes were read as requested.
}~r. Jecobs, speaking to th~'~ City ~lttorne~, asked if he bad ~iv n the ,~assa~ of
this Ordina~ce his mnqua!ified approval, to ~hich Cou~ci~an De?~itt rea!lad that
the Council as a whole knew that the Ordinance would not pass a Co~rt fast, but they
also knew that the improvement of the Beach must be accomplished before tb~ next
tourist season, and before fm~ds could be made avai!ab~e from ~ny other source.
~,h'. Jacobs th:~n aec~sed t~ Colonel!men of vio!atia~ thei.r oaths of offi~e,
statiag that this was a case of tr~.~:~on, a~-~c] ~.~hr~ate~ed to t~ke the ~asa into Court,
aski~g the Co~cil~:~ea subject to recall for maifea?unee, misfeas;~nce ~c]
feas~ow, if he won his case aCal~s tb~m.
City ~ttorney I,~[oor answerec] ~r. Jacobs by exDlaini~g that it w~s the ob.j~ct
of th~ Co~ncii to raise fronds for the beautification amd resto~'ation of the Beach,
a~d this method was chelsea after it~ endorsement by a g~'eat many meople, and nrac-
tica!!y a~_! of the C~.vic Clubs, who realized tha~ the work must be done during
su'~mer, a~'~a ~at they were merely trying to further the ~lfare of thru mntire town.
Mr. Jacob'.~ offered to help on the B~ach beautlfieat~_on pro,]vet by ~ contribution,
but contend~d t4at this method of obtaining f~m~ds was unconstitutional.
Mr. A. ~orge then addressed the Co~ac~i, urging them to work out c]mfir~ite
?!ans for the work they contemnlate doin~ aa the Beach, then get an estimate of the
cost and submit it to th~ businessmen of the Town, whome he felt sure wo,.~d
the program by contributions, as the~,~ a~ realize the necessity of the Beach ink, rove-
meats for the attraction of to~'ists durinz the co~nR winter.
~,~{r. J. r.~. Cromer submitted a ~ronosal to build a concrete pavilion 30' wide
and 50' long, at the end of Atlantic ~venue, which could b~ built o~ oil~ngs high
enoch off of the gro.~md to allow the flow of water and ~and baneath the buildir~g,
and which could be built at a cost of asoroximstely ~ 20,000.00. }~'r. Cromer reeommea
ded a two ~il tax levy which would provide a~nrox~ately ~ 16,000.O0, and stated
that the building could be built c~.n~ing the sm~er to be c~D!etad b~z October 15th,
and co~d be financed mnt!l f,~ds were ~vailable from tax co].!actions this fall. He
asa<ed th~ Council to endorse this prooosai so that work co.~ld ba started immediatn!y.
Comncilman DeWitt axm]_ained theft render the City Charter money can be borrowa8
fbr operation axpanse:~ oa!~,z. Knowing this he had endorsed t~e plan of an a~d[tioaal
water maintenance charge to provide the f~ads for the ~pro~,ment of tb~ ~eaeh
the s u~me r.
JUNE ~TH, 19/~
}.~r. DeWitt also explained that the last Co.mncil had submitted a plan for
a complete project, estimated to cost between ~ 50,000. an~ ~ 100,000. in-
cluding sidewalks, cu',..bs and gutter~:, tr~os an~ ~rass, that it had been pla~'~ned
to call a ~ond election and sell r~on-interest baarin~ bonds, ~ 25,000.00
of which had already been subscribed for. Y;?. DeV~tt ~urther stated that he
didn't see how ~e Co~r~ci! co~d borg'ow the money for this specific ~ro)ect,
or le~- a millage at this time.
It was the opinion of City ,~%torne?~z l~oore that the City co~d not obligate
itself at this time on a tax levy to be made ~_n the future, or that ~!la~e
c~u!d be D~t or~ the 194~ Tax Ro~.! to be use~ esoecia!ly for the improvement of
the Beach, but he stated that an increase of two mills could b~ made for the
~enera! operation of the City.
Hr. Cro~r, however, contended that a contract eo~d be made with certain
C~]~ractors to build the ~avilfon as he o~tiined~ to be coma].eted by October
15th, with a orovision that it co~d be financed until f,~r~ds were available,
until next s~mer if necessary.
Councilman Kabler then racom~'~ended that the beautification of the Beach
be carried ~n b? asking for ~ntributions, and the work be done as the func~s
becam~ ~availabie. He f< that the Co~ci]. hsd made a mistake by saying water
~net~rs would be turne~ off for non-payment of th~ ~ 2.00 additional water
maintenance charge, and the project should be ~ut on a volmntary basis purely.
}~ir. Kabler also believed th:,t hotel and business ~n would contribute mo~ than
~ 12.00, as they rea~zed the neca'.~sity of keeping the tourist's trade.
~fter further cor~sideration, a motion was made b~z Comncilman De'?itt~
seconded by Cocci!man ~,~ac~illan, that Or~i~ance No. ~45, passed and adopted
by the City Council on May llth, lv45, -~hich added a ~ 2.00 water maintenance
charge on water bills for a oeriod of six months, be r~pasled, .~nd the money
which had been oaid into the City Treasury be returned, and ~hat a further
study be mad~ of the ~roblem of beautification of the 2each. Upon call of roll
the motion carried ~znanimously.
City Younger Black than advised ~_he Council that tim soil and grass wer~
available to cover th~a entire mil~:: of Beach, which he estimated could be don~
for ~ 500.00. We believed theft the gra~s c~,l!d ~ w~tered ~ith h~se from the
fire hydrators ~]uring tho s.~er, or until a sorinkler s~ste~ could be instal]md.
Co~ciLman DeCal,itt recommended that }~r. ~iack ba instr,~cted to go
wit~ th~ ?tossing of tho shm.~ders, with -~ha understanUing that the Count~z had
agroed to push the sand back to build uo a 15' sho~i!der. An a~d~tiona! tax
coulc~ then be inc!u~e~ in tho next budget an~ contradicts c?,ld be !et for
construction of a oavi!ion as soon as funds became ~vai].abl~~, at the beginning
of th~ ta:~ year.
~r. Cromer asked for ~ermission to f~nance and buil~ the oaviiion i~diately,
and have it r?ady by October !Sth, but he was advised by tbe City Attor~-my that
the Council had no ~oower to issue bonds or to create an obligatio~ for this puroose.
The Co~mcil discussed all ~ossibilities of raisir~ the money neeSed for a
pavilion at this time, after which a motion was made by Codncilmaa De~fitt,
seconded by Comncilma?~ Yac~i!!an~ that a committee of ten be picked from the
audia~ce to canvas the City, and b~ mublic subs~'~riotion raise ~noufh money to
